A MONSTER BALLOON.
One That win Take Up One Hundred Pas
sonUora 81 q, Tfvno


sengers at Time.
It is reported that the next International
Exhibition, to be held in Paris in 1889, is,
like that of 1878, to be adorned with cap
tive ball DON. It is to be of enormous size;
and, as in 1873, the maximum altitude
reached will be about 8, $50 feet. But whereas
in M. Giffard's balloon only fifty passengers
were taken up at one time, the projected
@rostat will carry 100 passengers. An en-
CINE of 600-horse power will be employed to
pull the enormous mass back to mother
earth. 1t will be remembered that the bal
loon of 1878 was torn to pieces in q high
wind, owing to the fact that it was not kept
full of gas In the new balloon special
precaution is to be taken to preserve the
tightness of the envelope, so that the wind
can find in it no hollow or wrinkle. "A
smaller balloon, filed with atmospheric air,
is to be placed inside the large one, and the
volume of this smaller balloon can be in
creased or diminished by means of an air
pump worked by an electric engine in the
car. By this means variations Of tempera-
ture with the consequent alteration Of bulk
in the gas can be compensated for.
